1. As a cross of hair is the purest form of sentiment to remember, plait with care. To properly prepare the hair, lay it out upon an open weave drying cloth. When the hair has become perfectly dry, divide it into strands containing from twenty to thirty hairs each, according to the fineness of the hair or the directions given for the pattern about to be worked.
